Zell Miller on the liability of the gun industry:

Let's think about it for a second but remove firearms from the equation. We'll substitute some other products. Do you believe that Ford Motor Co. should be dragged into court to be held responsible for damage to life and limb caused by drunk drivers? Do you believe that Callaway Golf should be held accountable because someone was assaulted with one of that company's Big Bertha irons? Of course you don't.

Of course.

But you can't put your Ford Motor Co. product into drive without putting your foot on the break pedal. Ford didn't implement that feature because they wanted to, they did it because they didn't want to be dragged into court. It's nice of Miller to help the gun industry avoid that kind of pesky pressure to produce a safer product.
